How much power is given?

Ok so lets says you have 4 d2 speakers and you run them in a series/parallel set up to make a 1 ohm load off a 1000 watt @1ohm amplifier how much power does each see in this set up?

Row 1 = 2 voicecolis in series : 2.00 ohms : 2.00 ohms

( 4.00 ohms total for row)

Row 2 = 2 voicecolis in series : 2.00 ohms : 2.00 ohms

( 4.00 ohms total for row)

Row 3 = 2 voicecolis in series : 2.00 ohms : 2.00 ohms

( 4.00 ohms total for row)

Row 4 = 2 voicecolis in series : 2.00 ohms : 2.00 ohms

( 4.00 ohms total for row)

Connecting Row 1 and Row 2 and Row 3 and Row 4 in Parallel

Total Impedance for this combination = 1.00 ohms

In theory...each would see 250 watts.....

However, actual resistance and impedance rise and actual output of amp all come into play.

so if you had 10 speakers same set up same amp each would see 100 watts then ok I am asking because I am going to be setting up a wall with 8 12's in my explorer and would like to see about 500 to each sub so that means I would need about a 4k watt amplifier then right?I want to run just a single sub amp though

If you want a full 500w to go to each sub, I would be looking at something that does what you want at 2 ohm. Your box rise will put you closer to that rating or higher.

So you want 4-5k at 2 ohm.

Yeah that makes sense to me. Well I guess I am off to find a 4-5k rms amp @2 should be able to find 1 in the $600-900 range I think
